🎬 Why We Started Save Indie Film

The film industry is changing fast. Budgets are shrinking, jobs are disappearing, and AI is beginning to replace the very artists who pour their hearts into storytelling.

That’s why I started Save Indie Film — to give filmmakers a real fighting chance.

When you buy an entry, you’re not just entering a giveaway — you’re directly funding real productions and helping working filmmakers stay in the game.

Here’s exactly how your support makes an impact:

🎥 40% — Goes directly into funding independent short films and original scripts, including paying fair wages to grips, gaffers, camera crews, and editors.
💡 25% — Covers production equipment, permits, insurance, and post-production, helping small crews make high-quality projects without studio backing.
📣 20% — Fuels marketing and outreach, helping these indie films reach film festivals, streaming platforms, and wider audiences.
🖥️ 10% — Keeps the Save Indie Film platform running, maintaining transparency, handling giveaway logistics, and ensuring everything stays 100% legal and compliant.
💬 5% — Reserved for community grants and emergency funds to help filmmakers in need (gear replacement, rent relief, medical emergencies, etc.).

Every entry helps put people back to work, supports new voices in film, and keeps creativity alive where it matters most — on set, with real crews, telling real stories.

Together, we can save indie film — one project at a time.
